(Yahoo!) - Justin Bieber may have only just returned to the U.S., but he's already found himself in some big trouble!

The Biebs is being investigated for battery, after a neighbor says Bieber made physical contact with him and threatened him.

L.A. County Sheriff's spokesperson Steve Whitmore confirmed to "omg! Insider" that an incident happened this morning at Bieber’s home in Calabasas, California.

Whitmore explains that at about 9:08 a.m. the LA County Sheriff’s Department responded to a (non-911) call.

The accuser - confirmed to be a neighbor of Bieber's - told deputies that Bieber made physical contact with him. The accuser also claims that Bieber threatened him. He made allegations of a battery and some threats.

Sources in the neighborhood tell "omg! Insider" that it was actually Bieber's car that caused the incident. Bieber got his car back this a.m. and the car was loud and he was driving super fast and it ticked off the neighbor. According to the source there was no physical contact, just aggressive words.

The cops are no longer at Bieber’s home and the incident is under investigation.

Bieber is currently on a short break from his European tour. His next concert is scheduled for this Saturday, March 30, in Vienna, Austria.
